Lyrics

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She's got her father's eyes
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that find the good in things
When good is not around;
Eyes that find the source of help
When help just can't be found;
Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same
Just like my father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my father's eyes

And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me
More than anything I know, I want your words to be

She had her father's eyes
Her father's eyes;
Eyes that found the good in things
When good was not around;
Eyes that found the source of help
When help would not be found;
Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain;
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same
Just like my father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my father's eyes
My father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my father's eyes
